    About me

    I was raised in the church by converts. We were non-Utah Mormons. I was active in Young Woman's and held many callings and never really had a lot of doubt. I went to BYU-Idaho and am endowed and married in the Temple.

    # Why I left More stories of 'Why I left' the Mormon church

    Shortly before I got married I started questioning the Church on ordaining women and on the place of women in heaven. This was very hard for me. The temple wording did not help and sincerely broke me. No answers helped, and
    No blessing made it better. Nothing took my pain and heartache away except in the year I decided to stop attending. It’s been 12 years since I started questioning and been two full years since I decided to not be active in the Church. Due to my sincere belief in Christ I am taking steps to find a different Church and one that does practice female ordination.

    Yes, I think Mormons are Christian. They sincerely believe in Christ. They are baptized in Christs name. I just pray one day they can themselves come to find truth without these temples ordinances and open the temples to being just additional places of worship and gathering. Oh and ordain women too.

    I explain them by believing they aren’t predicated on whether I am a church member but whether I faithfully believe in Christ.

    I am an and have been a Christian my whole life because I was baptized and believe in Christ. I don’t think anything else is necessary to be a Christian.

    Deal with them in kindness. They my or may not understand. You can explain or not but tell them you’ll always love them and care about your relationship with them.
